Was that wise, deadbeater?
You talked her out of free room and board with no money problems, for probably... oh, 5 to 10 years?

deadbeater 01-18-2008 08:55 PM
xo, she had a young girl. Perhaps you could take care of her?

And we all know nothing. So hows it working out for this guy Radar?

In lengthy filings to the IRS, the three defendants claimed they did not legally have to pay taxes, citing an obscure section of the tax code that establishes that foreign sources of income for U.S. citizens are taxable. Protesters take that to mean only foreign sources are taxable, and wages made in this country are not.
That's weird. I thought these sorts of arguments were typically based on the 16th Amendment being invalid.

Snipes also argued in long, bizarre letters that he was a nonresident alien; that the IRS terrorizes and deceives citizens; and that efforts to prosecute him would cause "increased collateral risk."
Ah yes. Now we finally get to the part where he's actually a nutcase who's been hiding behind a great publicist all these years.

And just what is so nutty about the traditional "efforts to prosecute me will cause increased collateral risk" defense?

That's a bit like saying he's going to shoot them if they try and take his money away isn't it?

Gee...didn't someone else say that around here?

Why yes in fact he did say something to that effect.

xoxoxoBruce 01-30-2008 11:14 PM
No, even though he's a Snipser, he was saying Radar is going to shoot them, if the don't drop the case.

Radar 02-01-2008 06:06 PM
NOT GUILTY!!!

I guess it's working out just fine.

Unlike most lawyers, I actually do know the law. For instance there is no law that compels Americans to pay income taxes. Several former IRS agents found this out and quit their jobs. Joe Bannister, John Turner, and Sherry Jackson are a few of the more famous ones who asked to be shown the law, and were told they could resign.

Radar, he didn't use the "taxes are unlawful" defense. He used the "i got screwed by my advisors" defense. He was convicted of 3 counts of failing to file, but will face little time in jail. He will, however, have to pay all taxes an penalties.

To be convicted of the felony charge he was facing the IRS would need to prove that he knew taxes were non-voluntary and chose not to pay them. Pretty high burden of proof.

Co-defendants Eddie Ray Kahn, the founder of a tax protest group, and Douglas P. Rosile, a delicensed accountant, were convicted by the same jury of tax fraud and conspiracy.
I got it! I'm going to not file any further taxes, and when they ask me why not, I'll tell them I was advised that filing is non-voluntary by my advisor and now co-defendant, Mr. Paul Ireland.

Clodfobble 02-01-2008 10:21 PM
And hopefully the penalties will come out to less than the interest you made investing that money, and all will be well!
